The Denver Clock Tower was the perfect & unique wedding venue for this sweet couple. Catherine and Matt had an intimate wedding and wonderful reception full of love, laughter and lots of dancing (three DJs!) The terrific Jessica of Weddings by Design coordinated every detail beautifully and she made the day run seamlessly. Catherine and Matt- it was a privilege to be a witness to your special day. Thank you. Thank you to my amazing second shooters- Steve Glass and Tara Bailey! Wishing you all the best, Rachel

We were able to squeeze in a photo session before their travels take them out of the country yet again. Just as they get re-settled into the American life, they are off to life “down under” later this year (so fun!) It was so wonderful to hang out with you for the afternoon.  I can’t wait to hear about your adventures overseas! All the best, Rachel

This sweet little peanut is 8 months old already! You may remember her from her newborn portrait shoot, which feels like it took place just yesterday… how time flies! And you can’t forget big brother…who is also getting bigger, and more hilarious by the moment. This darling family is in the middle of building their new home, and decided that it would be the perfect location for the shoot- and it was. I love how clean and simple the images are.  We laid out a white blanket and enjoyed the amazing natural light that was… Read More »

I can not wait for their wedding next month at the Clock Tower in Denver. The talented Jessica, of Weddings by Design, is helping them create a beautiful, intimate affair. Thank you for taking a little time out of your crazy schedules to spend the evening with me. All the best, Rachel

Some of you know that our extended family will soon include another professional wedding photographer RJ Kern of Kern Photo. We can’t wait to add him to our family. One bonus to adding another photographer is that I actually get to be in some pictures now! RJ did a wonderful photo shoot of the four of us when our littlest girl was 5 weeks old. I will cherish these photos forever! You can read more about this shoot here and here.  RJ does a great job discussing film vs digital. Can you tell the difference?… Read More »

Regina and John decided that Colorado would be the perfect place to have their engagement portraits done, despite the fact that they will be getting married next summer on Coronado Island outside of San Diego.  These two were hoping for snow, and lots of it.  We didn’t have a lot, but we did have a little bit to work with…and they had a great time playing around in it (while freezing their hands off!). Regina and John are two amazing people. Regina is a preschool teacher for special needs children (and happens to be my… Read More »

We welcomed our new baby girl into our family on November 5th, 2011!  Everyone is happy, healthy and enjoying this time together as a family.  Our oldest is loving her new role as a big sister…and I am loving my new role of mother of two little ladies! I will be limiting my use of the computer over the next few months so that I can cherish this time. So if there is a delay in getting back to you, I apologize…but I promise you will hear from me soon!
